You have to go to Best Buy to get the trade in value? Terrible.

Whose brilliant idea was this? I just tried calling and they told me they need to scan the UPC and can't go by the title. Either they're lying to me to try to make me come in, or their system is really that retarded.

Why can't it be like the US Best Buy website that has a directory and look-up for the trade value of each game.

I know I can use TIVs.ca, but it seems pretty outdated. I was looking to trade in a few games with the offer that they have where if you trade 2 games each worth $5, you get get an additional $5 for each game.

I was looking to trade in the following, in case anyone knew the current actual TIV.

Gears of War 3
Halo Anniversary
Oblivion
Fable 2
Arkham Asylum
Crackdown 2
COD4

Because most of the entertainment sucks cock. What's the ratio of good movies to shit movies? And the ratio for video games?

I can't help but agree. The problem is, if they were to let everyone pay the amount they'd like to, they'd get screwed. Case in point, the Humble Indie Bundle. Often the games add up to around $100, but most people pay a cent more than the average to get the extra games, but no more than that.

I think the set value for games is fine as it is at the moment, personally, I believe I have a mutually benefitial relationship with the industry. I get awesome entertainment, they get money. We're all happy.

If you want to complain about something being too expensive, look to products which actually expereinced inflation, not games. Plus, the video game industry was one of the few industries which continued to grow during the recession, clearly most consumers aren't so against the $60 price tag on games.

Really, all this^^^ because someone asked for used game trade in values? Why don't you people get a life and go make your own rant and rave thread? It's pretty ridiculous to keep arguing the same point over and over. It's like when pc fanboi's start bashing consoles, it's the same shit just a different toilet.

stuntman21, welcome to the internet.

This probably isn't the best forum for such a debate though. Anyone care to continue on say... NeoGAF?
